4th genetation is supposed to last up to 12 hours, but it will end up like 10 or less hours, for me it will last even less cuz i listen at really high volume (i listen to rap and some metal, thats supposed to explain everything)

I've never heard of overheating personally. Maybe if it's operating in high temp or high humidity situations? I'd look on ipodlounge.com for info about that...

I would recommend dishing out the money for a car charger if you going on lots of trips. Even better, if you got the money, get the car charger + fm transmitter.

if you got a tape deck, get the belkin dock charger (has line-out) and a tape adapter
